The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It's a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.
If you'd like to participate with The Sunday Salon, it is now a Facebook group.
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading is a meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. This is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between! This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!
I'm also linking to Stacking The Shelves which is hosted by Team Tynga's Reviews.
Hello Everyone,
As some of you may know, my father passed away a week and a half ago. He had been in the hospital for a few months. I still can't believe my father is gone and I'm slowly trying to get my act together and get back into the swing of things. Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers. It's much appreciated.
I've been away from the blog for the past two weeks. Although I had quite a number of blog tours posted, those were pre-scheduled. Some of which I even forgot about, so it's a good thing we can pre-schedule posts. I haven't been participating in my usual book memes but I'll be doing those again soon. If nothing else, the blog keeps me busy and keeps my mind off things.
I somehow managed to finish a couple of books. I started both before I lost my father and then couldn't concentrate on them again, but eventually I managed to finish them. Reading is a kind of stress reliever for me.
The summer weather has been beautiful here but the humidity is heading our way. I'm not looking forward to that but I'll handle it :)
How have you all been? What have you been reading? Watching movies or TV shows? What's going on?
Yvonne

Oh, I'm so sorry.I hadn't heard that your father had died. *hugs* As you know, my dad died in May so I feel your pain. I had noticed the lack of memes but just figured you were busy. :( My condolences to you and your family.
